Sparky13,
It did not come with a title, but fortunately in Georgia a title is not required for 1985 and before, and this one qualifies for that by a long shot.  And yes it is very complete. I don’t want to make a jeep salad, especially out of complete Jeeps. Just thinking that tub would be nice on the ‘52 frame temporarily and I could have a pretty decent driver while I work on the frame the ‘51 comes with. I don’t know. Just thinking out loud. But yea I’ll get it all here and see if I can get the engine to rotate before I make any decisions about that. SlaterDoc, I looked at the other few pics I have of the frame and there is not a machine gun mount, there are holes there, but no cut mount. I don’t know what the guy saw that made him say that it was an mb frame, but when I get it home I’ll check it out better and check the gussets and look for a frame tag. Getting a trailer tomorrow and going to bring her home! I’ll update with a couple pics when I can.

It wouldn't be that hard to cut off the front of the gun mount so it would fit a civilian Jeep body.

"You guys ever.........Go to look at a couple jeep parts and end up bringing a whole damn Jeep home? "
 Usually, I go to look at a jeep and bring home a truck-load of parts.BW

It is NOT a Jeep Willys! It is a Willys jeep.

Cpt logger, I’ve posted pics in my project thread, “two Jeeps”... which I should probably figure out how to change the title of to “three Jeeps”
But here are a couple pics for this thread Arriving home  Unloaded  There is also two big totes of all the other bolt on parts that have been removed. The only thing I’ve found missing is one hood latch.

Thanks for the pics. I usually do not make time for browsing the project threads. I wish I could. There are quite a few good ones.

That is a 3A style frame, not an MB frame, you can tell by the bulge at the bumper end of the frame horn, and the absence of the gussets.
If it has a machine gun mount the body would have had to have been modified at the floor riser for it, as neither the 3A or it's military cousin the M38 would have had that feature. I have bought Jeeps home that looked a lot worse than that one for that kind of money, so I say you got a good deal.

If you can't get there in a Jeep you don't need to be there!

I used to have 5 Jeeps in my yard, my sister in law wondered how i could afford that many. My brother finally admited that 3 of them were his.
